An electric cable connector device for use with pothead connectors has a base member with a wide lower portion and an elevated portion for maintaining an electrical connection formed by two electrical cables above the ground while permitting the device to move on the ground and thus prevent electrical short, dirt contamination, and inadvertent damage. The base member may also have a first and second leg portions configured for straddling a berm such that the device moves along a berm without entering a roadway. Apertures are formed in the base member for forks of a forklift or for a chain or cable such that the device and connection may be moved. The connectors and/or cables are secured to the base member by clamps. Slide mechanisms may be disposed between the clamps and the base member such that the connectors may be slid apart for inspection and repair while remaining secured to the base member. Cable guides are coupled to the base member and have a channel formed between two curved surfaces to prevent the cable from kinking. The base member may be painted a bright or flourescent color, have reflective material attached, and/or have a flag attached to increase visibility and prevent inadvertent damage. |
